DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES – State Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) and the Latino Legislative Caucus will host a Green Job Summit in Downtown tomorrow and Friday.

Friday’s free events start at 8:30 a.m. with welcome speeches by Cedillo and Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, followed by three panel discussions on emerging sectors within the green economy, distribution of benefits and burdens, job training and regulatory challenges.

The move is expected to produce tens of thousands of new jobs, among other benefits, according to Cedillo’s office.
